Rapid Stratification of ARDS Patients for Effective Treatment Plan Implementation
The Randox ARDS array is a quantitative IL-6 & sTNFR1 immunoassay for use on the Evidence MultiSTAT analyser with a preparation time of 30 minutes and a run time of 36 minutes.
The data, when combined with additional clinical data, and analysed using a parsimonious statistical model, developed and operated by UCSF, aims to stratify ARDS patients into one of two inflammatory phenotypes. This is one of the aims of the prospective clinical trial (PHIND Study) the biochip is currently being used in.

Biomarkers Tested
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a soluble mediator with a pleiotropic effect on inflammation, immune response, and haematopoiesis. Although its expression is strictly controlled by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanism, dysregulated continual synthesis of IL-6 plays a pathological effect on chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.
Soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (sTNFR1) is a circulating form of their membrane bound counterparts (mTNFR1) which is essential for tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-signalling via different pathways. An interaction between both mTNFR1 and mTNFR2 leads to a proinflammatory stimulus via activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) or activator protein 1 (AP-1), while mTHFR1 contains a death domain through which signalling leads to apoptosis.
Evidence MultiSTAT
Meet the Evidence MultiSTAT
